    Pending Action Items

    PENDING ITEM: FreeDesktop.Org

    +Triaging NEEDINFO
 -AGREED: We will move forward with auto closing these bugs moving into the future
 -AGREED: One warning will be given where we:
    • Thanks users for their report
    • Acknowledge that it's been in NEEDINFO for at least 180 days
    • Ask again for information requested
    • Say that if information is not given within 1 month, bug will be auto closed as INVALID
    -ACTION: Florian will write text for first “warning”
-General agreement that at most it would be 20% of bugs are actual bugs but more likely much lower than this and without this move, they would never be touched

    New Action Items

    NEW ITEM: FreeDesktop.Org

    +Most Annoying Bugs
-General Policies
    • No nominating your own bugs!
    • Only active triagers & developers should do this
    • Triagers will try their best to add comments when they add a bug to MAB
    • UNCONFIRMED – remove them
    • NEEDINFO – can stay on there, but shouldn't stay on NEEDINFO
    +QA Field
-We've been much better about assigning ourselves as QA contact after triaging
-Action: Joel will contact Tollef about getting a “take” option for QA field

    NEW ITEM: Hard Hacks

    +New bugs added, awaiting feedback from developers
+Candidates should be limited to MAB list for the most part but other particularly difficult/annoying bugs can be added

    NEW ITEM: QA Project / Realistic Goal

    +ACTION: Joel will work on getting this page started, should include all projects (long/short) along with goals and “lead contacts”

    NEW ITEM: Timestamp for Master Builds

    +Action: Petr will look into getting some kind of time stamp in the about section of master builds, latest commit date/time is best but other option is time of build.
+Bjoern may know something about this as there was discussion a year+ ago about doing this

    NEW ITEM: New Features

    +Major concern about new features squeezing through without enough QA testing
+Many times QA is unaware of new features until it's too late to test, no good list to “test first”
+Action: Joel will ask ESC if they are okay with
-Developers create or use an existing bug and add "feature:<version>" flag into whiteboard, e.g "feature:4.1"
*This will help to find a tested even during the development phase
-Developers mention new feature in the release notes once completed; see links at ReleasePlan ;
    • mention there the existing bug if exists;
    • the bugs has to me marked as FIXED
    +QA monitor the release notes page; They make sure that all features have assigned bug and that all bugs have the proper "feature:<version>" flag; It the bug does not exist, they create it and add the developer into CC; the bugs should be marked as FIXED at this stage because the feature is ready
+ the bug will be used to track the testing activity and marked as verified once it pass testing; it could be used as a meta bug for tracking related bugs that breaks using the feature

    +Agreed: QA will use “verified” more frequently with FIXED Enhancements especially those marked as NewFeature
+Agreed: Comments will be used to show that multiple QA people test new features
+Petr brought up moztrap being a possibility to test new features

    -Needs further investigation (volunteers needed)

    NEW ITEM: Talkyoo Broken (skype)

    +ACTION: Petr will look into other options as this call two people tried calling in using skype but failed to successfully connect
